$10 Magic is Fun / Magic for EveryoneHereward Carrington From the introduction:
There is no more fascinating study, when once an interest in the subject has been aroused, than conjuring - or, as it is popularly called, "Magic." One of the most delightful of all pastimes is the inventing and performing of new tricks, and watching their effect upon the audience - who do not know the secrets of the various "sleights" performed. We all know how fascinating the professional conjuror's entertainment is, - and how mystifying! So I propose to take my readers, - in the present book, - into the very heart of the mystery - to explain exactly how the important... ★★★★★ $6 Magic Annual 1938-1939 (Hugard's Annual of Magic)Jean Hugard The second and last book in the Magic Annual series Jean Hugard wrote for Max Holden. (Also consider the first volume Magic Annual 1937.)
Paul Fleming wrote:
Hugard's Annual of Magic for 1938-1939 is similar to its 1937 predecessor in size and format. It is a volume of 126 pages (137 minus 11, since the text begins on page 11), and has good illustrations by Nelson Hahne, good paper, good printing, and a good-looking cover of blue, gold-stamped fabrikoid. Like the earlier Annual, it deals with sleights and tricks in several branches of conjuring.
Mr. Hugard begins this book auspiciously with an eight-page essay on extempore... ★★★★★ $10 Magic at HomeArthur Good & Professor Hoffmann  A wonderfully illustrated collection of 100 interesting and easy-to-replicate science experiments, tricks, puzzles, and the like.
Excerpt from the preface:
Each of the hundred sections embodies a distinct scientific recreation, sometimes a mere puzzle or test of dexterity, but more often illustrating, in a magical or quasi-magical form, the operation of some natural law. Chemistry, Mechanics, Optics, Hydrostatics, Pneumatics.
Translated and edited from the French Science Amusante by Professor Hoffmann.

★★★★★ $8 Magic of the HandsEdward Victor This is a classic in sleight-of-hand magic. From the foreword:
This BOOK is mainly on the art of sleight-of-hand and it is my earnest hope that these pages will afford practical help to both the specialist and the amateur magician.
During the period of over twenty-five years of practical magic I have formed the conclusion that in all conjuring, no matter how cleanly a trick may have been worked, it is the effect that counts.
A magical effect that one desires to "get over" must be definite and surprising. By definite I mean an easily followed plot or routine. By surprising I mean that... $25 Magic Magazine 2014Stan Allen Volume 23, Number 5 - Volume 24 Number 4

★★★★★ $12 EuromagicPeter Wilker From the preface:
Each of the six chapters of these Lecture Notes contains one routine; but there is no connection between them except that they are all "European". European? Isn't magic international? Of course, there is no specific European or American or Japanese branch of our art. What I mean by European is on a more personal level. I am a Swiss living in England, to be precise in Cornwall, with many friends in my home as well as my adopted country, but also in Germany. Over the years we constantly exchanged ideas on particular tricks and on magic in general. In all my books I used many... $29.50 Magick Volume 6Bascom Jones ... - ... 2 / David "Dr. D" Douglas

Excerpt from the introduction:
My books are written from the standpoint of a practical performer and have in view the conditions required for public presentation on the concert platform. The average magical book seems to predominate in card tricks, small mental effects, or subtle whimsies suitable only for intimate work. Such effects are rare in my own writings, and subtlety and superfine cleverness are overlooked for directness of working and clarity of effect, always having in mind that it is the lay audience that we are to entertain.
So this book will, I feel, appeal again to the... ★★★★★ $6 Magic Annual 1937 (Hugard's Annual of Magic)Jean Hugard In general magic books cover a certain subject area. Here a slice through time is offered. The 'Magic Annual' describes the best and most popular effects from one year. (There is a second volume in this series Magic Annual 1938-1939.)
Max Holden writes in the introduction: "Some of the items are new, some are old tricks given a novel twist, while other effects, although known in a general way, are now published in detail for the first time - among these latter, the Hugard Fire Eating Act, Hugard's Bullet Catching Feat and my own presentation of Smoke Pictures.

$10 Magic Made EasyDavid Devant An excellent selection of tricks by no other than David Devant. From his introduction:
I have always maintained that the art of the conjurer is closely allied to that of the actor, but with this difference: the actor selects a character and impersonates it. He has all the advantages of a proper dress, suitable to the character he is playing, of beautiful scenery, and music, and lighting, and the various other little things which are comprised in the theatrical word “effects.” The actor has all these aids to assist him in persuading people that the man they see is not the actor, but... ★★★★★ $10 Impromptu Card MagicAldo Colombini 90 amazing card tricks by some of the most recognized magicians (including three past FISM winners), with stringent conditions: no set-ups and no sleights. organized into the following sections:

whatsoever. Grab an ordinary, even borrowed, deck of cards and amaze your spectators with incredible... $5 Magic is Fun issue 5Irv Feldman & David Robbins  April-June 1947

Always he has retained this keeness for what he calls "Magic in Miniature" and this has been the one anchor of an otherwise erratic young man.

Excerpt from the introduction:
To be able to perform a trick at any time and anywhere is an important qualification for a magician. Indeed, the status of many an amateur performer is judged, not so much by a conjuring entertainment given after careful preparation and arrangement of divers properties, but by his ability to provide an impromptu entertainment. It is important at this juncture to emphasize the word ENTERTAINMENT. The invariable response of many an amateur performer when asked at a festive gathering to "show a few tricks" is...
